DVD and Blu-ray Releases for November 1st, 2011

November 1st, 2011

The selection of home market releases is rather soft this week. Sure, Cars 2 was a major hit at the box office, but it is the only major hit on this week's list. The best selling TV on DVD release is Californication, which is a cable show, while the top ten selling titles according to Amazon.com include limited releases, catalogue titles and direct-to-DVD releases. There are more second-tier Christmas releases than any other type of release. There are far fewer titles that are worth picking up than last week, and the the Pick of the Week contenders are even more limited. Transformers: Beast Wars comes out on a Complete Series Collection and that could be Pick of the Week material, but I'm still waiting for the screener. More...

Featured DVD Review: Comedian

October 26th, 2011

Jerry Seinfeld is best known for playing Jerry Seinfeld on Seinfeld. This show lasted nine seasons and was routinely one of the highest rated TV shows on at the time, plus it earned 10 Emmys, 3 Golden Globes, 6 SAGs, 4 WGAs, 3 DGAs and countless other awards and nominations. In 2002, a few years after the show ended, he was the focuses Comedian, which makes sense, as he was still arguably one of the most well known Stand-Up comics around. Will the documentary entertain his fans? Will fans of stand-up in general want to watch it as well? Will it have even wider cross-over appeal? More...
